Joyetech eGo AIO Review

With so many with new high-power, feature-rich vaporizers launched virtually every day, it’s easy to forget that for the vast majority of vapers simplicity and ease of use are still two very important qualities when it comes to electronic cigarettes. Most users aren’t interested in experimenting with variable wattage, temperature control or coil building, they are just looking for a simple device to help them keep their nicotine dependency in check and prevent them from going back to smoking. And that’s where e-cigs like the Joyetech eGo AIO come in.

In case you’re wondering, AIO stands for ‘all-in-one’, which basically means this is a starter kit that includes everything you need to start vaping, except e-liquid. So let’s start by checking out the contents of the eGO AIO kit:

A Look at the Contents

This slick looking e-cigarette comes in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box with a life-size rendition of the actual device on the front, and a short description of the unit as well as a list of the starter kit contents on the back. I know packaging doesn’t mean a whole lot for most people, but after reviewing dozens of vaping products in the last four years, I found that the quality and design of the packaging gives you a pretty good idea of the work that went into the unit itself.

Inside the box you have the eGo AIO electronic cigarette, two 0.6Ω stainless steel coil heads, a spare drip tip, a USB charging cable, the user manual – which comes in 6 different languages – and a warranty card. When it comes to starter kits, I always prefer to have two batteries included, so that when one needs recharging, I can just replace it and keep on vaping, but since the AIO has a unibody design with the tank and battery encased in a metal tube, replacing the battery is impossible. On the bright side, the 1500mAh rating guarantees above average battery life, and as long as you have access to a USB port you can charge the unit on the go and even use it as a passthrough as it charges.

The Joyetech eGo AIO is an impressive e-cigarette in more ways than one, but the first to catch my attention were its slick minimalist design and reduced size and weight. At 118.5 mm in length and 19 mm in diameter, the AIO is slightly bulkier and heavier than the original eGo style e-cigs I used to vape on in my early days, but slimmer and lighter than the modern the Joyetech eGo One, not to mention any advanced mod I’ve ever used. Having been using much larger and heavier devices lately, I found the eGo AIO surprisingly comfortable to use and carry around.

With a simplistic tube-like look and a single button to operate it, the Joyetech eGo AIO may come across as a rudimentary e-cigarette, but there’s more to it that meets the eye. The tank section, for example, has the same cup design as the revolutionary Joyetech Cubis tank we reviewed not too long ago, and uses the same bottom-feeding coil heads. In fact, even though the Chinese company doesn’t mention it yet, I can tell you that Cubis coil heads and even its small RBA section are compatible with the eGo AIO. The main advantage of this cup design is that it does away with tight refilling spaces or orifices, allowing you to simply pour in juice like you would in (you guessed it) a cup. The AIO has a capacity of 2 ml of e-liquid.

The drip tip and actually the whole top section – which is in fact the atomizer base – of the eGo AIO electronic cigarette appears fairly common as well, but features a couple of innovative elements that greatly affect the overall performance of the device. First of all, you’ll notice that you can actually rotate the cap continuously, but it doesn’t unscrew from the main body. That’s because it doubles as an air-flow control switch. Aligning the two small dots – one on the rotating ring and one on the drip tip – fully opens the hidden airflow slot, while rotating the ring so that the dots form a 90 degree angle closes it almost completely.

To actually unscrew the cap of the Joyetech eGo AIO, either to refill the Cubis-like tank or replace a coil head, you need to bypass a childproof mechanism similar to the one of e-liquid bottles. So instead of simply rotating the airflow ring, you have to apply some pressure and then turn it.

Last but not least, the plastic mouthpiece or drip tip has a unique spiral internal design that prevents spit back and e-liquid leaking into your mouth. It’s actually quite effective, as I’ve never once experienced any of these issues, and doesn’t effect vapor inhalation in any way.

So let’s summarize these interesting features: anti-leaking design, child-proof lock, spit-back protection, 2 ml tank capacity. I do believe Joyetech is trying to meet the requirements of the European Union’s new tobacco directive, which comes into effect in May of this year. This could turn out to be a big deal for the company, as apart from a number of cigalikes, I am not aware of any other e-cigs that meet the criteria specified in the new legislation.

Before we move on to the few things I didn’t like about the design of the Joyetech eGo AIO, I want to mention one final feature of the e-cigarette that doesn’t influence the way the device works, but adds to its visual appeal – LED lighting. Old eGo batteries had an LED button which lit up when the battery was activated, but its new generation eGo actually has an illuminated tank. While the device is powered off, all you have to do is keep the power button pressed for a couple of seconds, and the tank will light up in one of six available colors (red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, white or purple). You can cycle through them by pressing the button repeatedly and the device locks in your choice if the button isn’t pressed for another two seconds. Now, when the device is turned on, every time you press the fire button, the tank will glow in the selected color. It’s a nice party trick, I suppose. You can also opt for no lighting, for stealth vaping.

Now for the cons, if you can even call them that. The first has to do with cleaning the tank when you want to change your juice. Because of the unibody design of the eGo AIO, you can’t take the tank section apart and rinse it under running water, like you would a regular tank. So you need to be careful that water doesn’t find its way to the fire button or micro-USB port on the unit, because they don’t look water proof to me. It’s a bit of an inconvenience, but it shouldn’t be a big deal if you’re careful.

The second con has less to do with the AIO in general and more to do with the black version I received for this review. Basically the problem is that the unit is completely black and so are the markings on it so it’s hard to distinguish them. For example, there is a MAX sign on the tank section that marks the maximum level of juice you can put in, but it’s almost impossible to see in normal lighting conditions. It’s a minor flaw, but one that could have easily been avoided. Luckily, this doesn’t appear to be a problem in the other color versions of the eGo AIO (silver, black and white, red and white, grey and white).

Battery Life

1500mAh may not seem like much when compared to the battery capacity of other modern regulated devices, like the SMOK R80, which comes with a 4000mAh non-removable battery, but keep in mind that that is a variable wattage, temperature control device. The power output on the eGo AIO, on the other hand, is not adjustable, so it will only fire between 4.2V and 3.7V, depending on how charged the battery is. Couple that with the 0.6Ω coils included in the starter kit, and you have a wattage range of 15W – 28W. That’s more than enough to satisfy most vapors and doesn’t take a heavy toll on battery life.

I have been using the AIO almost exclusively for about a week now, and I have been getting almost a full day of vaping out of the battery. Now, I consider myself a heavy vaper, so that’s actually pretty good vaping time in my book. But since I spend a lot of time in front of a laptop, I usually just plug it in for 30 minuted or so every day, and use it as a passthrough while it charges. For an e-cigarette this small and elegant 1500mAh is more than enough, so battery life shouldn’t be a problem for most people.

Vapor Production and Overall Performance

So how does this thing vape, right? After all that’s what ultimately makes or breaks a vaporizer. Well, let me just say that I wish we had the Joyetech eGo AIO back when I quit smoking instead of those mediocre cigalikes. Don’t get me wrong, it was nice having any alternative to tobacco, but this thing is just a million times better.

First of all, it makes sub-ohm vaping available to virtually everyone, even fresh ex-smokers looking to try an electronic cigarette for the first time. That’s a big deal, because this used to be advanced vaping territory that users had to work their way up to after months or years of using rudimentary devices and educating themselves on a number of topics, from electrical currents to compatibility issues. Not anymore, though. With the Joyetech eGo AIO, you can enjoy the perks of sub-ohm vaping – amazing vapor and enhanced flavor, etc. – without the hassle usually associated with it.

In terms of vapor production, I am not exaggerating in any way when I say that the eGo AIO is on par with high-end mods operating in the 15W – 28W range. Compared to the devices usually aimed at beginners , this thing is a beast. The vapor is denser and warmer than any electronic cigarette this size I have ever tried and the flavor is simply phenomenal. I can’t even think of anything remotely this size to compare it with in terms of performance. Yes, it’s that good!

The one thing some people might have a problem with is the tight, cigarette-like draw. The airflow control ring does a decent job of making the draw a bit more airy when set to wide-open, but it can only do so much, because what really tightens the draw is the small air hole on the Cubis-type coils. Right now, the Joyetch eGo AIO is a mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaporizer, which makes sense since that’s what smokers are used to and they’re mainly the ones the Chinese company is mainly targeting with this device. You can do direct lung hits, but you’re definitely going to notice the difference between this and airier tanks like the SMOK TFV4 Mini, for example. Luckily, I prefer mouth-to-lung vaping anyway, so I don’t consider this a con.

The good thing is that Joyetech is very likely to release new types of compatible coils in the near future, especially with the Cubis tank getting so much positive feedback and the AIO sure to follow suit, but in the meantime you can just use 0.6Ω coil heads included in the kit, or the 0.5Ω ones designed for the Cubis and even the tank’s RBA base. That last one is a bit tricky, though, because you’ll have to test the resistance of the coils on an actual Cubis tanks, since the AIO doesn’t have ohm reader functionality and the RBA deck only fits on the Cubis. If you have one lying around though, the rebuildable base will allow you to experiment with various resistances and make the vape airier than with the standard coil heads.

And if you’re still not sure if you should give the Joyetech eGo AIO a try, the price is surely going to help you make up your mind. This little gem is only going to cost you $21.99. That’s less than most cigalike starter kits, but the performance this thing puts out is actually on the same level with entry-level mods. For under $25, you simply cannot find anything better than the eGo AIO.

Whether you’re an ex-smoker looking for a high-quality e-cigarette that works great and is easy to use, or if you’re an advanced vaper in search of a more compact sub-ohm device that’s easy to carry around, the Joyetech eGo AIO is perfect. Not only does it chug the vapor compared with other e-cigs, but it has so many useful features – child-proof lid, airflow control, 2 ml tank, and LED lighting, just to name a few. And let’s not forget the form factor – the AIO is a looker.

Bottom line, if you spot it online or in a vape shop, get it, I guarantee you won’t regret it.

This is the ugliest device I’ve ever seen you can’t change power levels and you can’t find crap out about it even on joyetechs website stay away from egos also it’s almost impossible to get a skin that doesn’t cost half the price of the device which makes it an even worse investment

I got my ego aio today and it has good flavor for the price and resent clouds I’m loving it And I’m a new at the vape thing I quit smoking because I can feel how the cigaretts were making my have breathing problems I quit smoking for 3 weeks then I baught this and I still get the nicotine buzz but it isn’t that dangerous for the new vapes I recommend .

I have been using eGo AIO happily and satisfied for about a month but now the battery even after an overnight charge runs down in about 5 hours. Have never had that problem with any other vaping device. Was about to purchase a 2nd device to avoid the new flavor refill but am certainly reconsidering that now.

Ann I think u have a unit that has bad battery also it depends how much use it as well as for the unit compaired to a bigger mod and tank u have bigger battiries so it a hit and miss on the unit for having a bad battery but then again u cant go wrong for the price

I really can’t review yet as I just got yesterday. However I also am only getting the juice in my mouth no vapes.I only bought this bc my new topbox mini isn’t working either. It is re calibrating itself? Amy help here please???

@Kristin Lawrence – You clearly are an absolute noob with no idea of what your talking about. No one cares if you cant get a sleeve for a device that costs $21.99, what are you so scared of your $20 investment that you must put a sleeve on and treat it like gold. They’re dirt cheap, if it breaks just buy a new one, dont need a sleeve. Your so cheap. The product is awesome. 5 stars, everyone else clearly disagrees with you.

I like the new device; although, every now and then, when I push the button, no vape is released. It just steadily binks the color I have chosen, (not red, which indicates other things), The blue, green, violet, etc. blinks only when you are vaping and, of course, when it isn’t working. I have no idea what this means, and the only thing I can do to get it to work again is turn it off and restart. It may not seem so bad, but when it does this, it does it every other hit. I tried replacing the atty with no change. Has anyone else experienced this? I have one day left on the return warranty, but if I am just missing something, I hate to bother.

@KimH
If your device is blinking and not producing vape, you may need to charge it. I’ve had mine for a month now, LOVE IT! The only time it does what your describing is when the battery is low and close to dead. Charge it for 20-30 minutes and you should be good.
Happy vaping!

OK for every one it’s not in the manual but here goes the lights and when dead pushing fire button for a vape for one to 2seconds comes on stays on it’s above 60% blinks slow 30% faster or doesn’t fire it’s dead also if you want more airflow try a new drip tip with adjustable air oh and it’s not for beginners it’s sub khm and if you want even more air flow get the 0.5 coil your welcome ppl

Been vaping for few years now and this little device is perfect, can’t understand why khristen says it’s ugly haha, you stick with the car battery type and look an idiot then. It’s little compact and batty lasts two days for me,perfect.

I have ego one joytech and ive had it for over 2 years and mine is still a champ. Ive had no problem with it. And now I have the aios joytech and its just as good. Better flavor. Love the color options (I get to match my outfits) lol and long all day battery life! No complains here!

I had mine for a week and it won’t charge AT ALL anymore. At first I could tweak the micro USB and anchor it and it would charge. Now? Nothing!!!! I’m really disappointed because I loved it before it broke…,I want to say again, after A WEEK! It won’t charge!!!!

This is my first vape, I didn’t think it was going to perform the way it does because of how cheap I got it. But this thing creates some badass milk clouds. The flavor and density are awesome. I’m still on my first charge, but I’ve been through two tanks now and I’m glad I bought it.

I went through both coils in less than a month. The battery doesn’t last a full day for a heavy vaper. The sub ohm coils do nothing for devices like this. It doest create big clouds and doesn’t create more flavor because of the airflow restriction, small coils and little cotton. Flavor isn’t determined by the resistance of the coil it’s determined by how much juice the cotton can hold and how much of that capacity can be vaporized in the shortest amount of time. For that to happen a device also needs adequate airflow.

So, for big flavor and clouds, you want a big coil with big cotton to soak up as much juice as it can hold and a lot of airflow. None of which this device has.

I had this device for 3 months now….I bought it to quit smoking…The first time I turned it on it was super hot…I went back to the store and later on they told me its normal I changed the coils but they got burned….some of them at least xd

Then now I came to Korea and the device tuned on in my pocket by itself and was super hot…good thing it didn’t explode….But the glass is cracked and leaking so I glued it….

2 days ago it turned on by itself again -.-” And ate all my juice -.- what a waste….and the tip got so hot that it melted ….I glued that in too xD

But last night the tip feel out and I lost it xD

Today I couldn’t vape cause if the top was on it would turn on(it would vape) even if its off xD

Mine did same thing. Would get really hot or turn itself on. One day it started turning on & off over & over. Then it started spewing hot juice out the mouthpiece. It put it out in the garage because I thought it was going to explode. One day tit got so hot that the button melted & then dried stuck. You could not push in the button anymore.
So I bought another one hoping it just a fluke thing. Well, this one now will not charge! Ugh!

Hi I have had my pen for 5 and half months. Various problems, getting hot and having to wait till it’s cooled down. Spitting juice and over flood. I don’t have it any more it recently got hot, wouldn’t turn off, I thought it was going to explode. I left it to cool but when I switched it on I could see smoke. Hence I threw it away. Won’t buy another one. Now looking for a safer better pen.

I just purchased an eGo AIO today. Went into a tobacco/vape store and saw lots of varieties. All I knew is that my Kanger Tech Evods were leaking and the MT3 replacement coil heads have been discontinued. I have been smoking lousy e-cigs since quitting cigs 53 weeks ago. Never having learned about the fancier or expert e-cigs I really didn’t know what to look for. By chance and by price I chose the eGo AIO and I am glad I did. It is BY FAR the very best e-cig I’ve purchased so far. I will say that in my one day of using it that I’m using much more juice but at least I can taste it and it’s not all over my hands and my clothes. It is loud when I inhale but that’s because it gives me a real hit with extraordinary vape. I wanted two batteries but that isn’t possible but you can actually vape while it’s charging so no big deal. My initial reaction is two thumbs up!

I absolutely disagree with your comment! I think you must be talking about a different device than the one under review here, because the eGo AIO is a lovely, modern alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Indeed, I recently had to quit smoking for medical reasons (after 35+ years of doing so), and the eGo AIO is the best e-cig that I have found on the market and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to quit smoking cigarettes. Yeah, the eGo AIO is cute, sleek, light weight, and gives a vapor puff that is very close to taking a draw from a real, tobacco cigarette. In terms of feel and intake, it is the closest to the real thing that I found during my search for a vapor device! And for the small price, you cannot beat it. Not to mention that I find the larger, pricier units uncomfortable and too cumbersome to use effectively, whereas I can just pop the eGo AIO in my shirt/pants pocket and be on my way like I used to do with a pack of cigarettes. So whatever device you are referring to, I honestly do not see how you could be talking about the eGo AIO, because it ROCKS!

I have this sleak lil unit. It single handedly helped me quit smoking. It has everything I need in a vape. I have tried my brothers and friends crazy advanced mods and find they hardly stand up to my aio.

It’s actually a very nice unit. I have one in the dazzle color way and I like the very much. It fits in my pocket, the battery last more then the whole day for me, 2ml last the whole day for me, it actually draws very nice and gives very big hits for such a compact unit, the coils last forever before needing to be replaced, joyetech nailed it on this. If you want something no hassle, easy to use then buy this you won’t regret it!

As a returning vaper let me just say. where was this when I started???

This is absolutely perfect for a beginning vaper because it as about as unfussy as vaping can get.

I stopped vaping for awhile but I took it up again because I wanted something hand to mouth besides food. I wandered into my local shop and they pointed me to this thing and I love it. Nice size, nice amount of vapor, not fussy, passthrough check, check, check and check.

I paid $40 for it and 30ml of juice. I paid more than that to get started when I originally switched for something much more fussy and the first couple months were a fight to find a reliable setup.

I am a mouth to lung vaper so if you like straight to lung vaping or you’re big into mods this might not be for you. I enjoy pulling into my mouth before I inhale maybe I’m still a smoker at heart.

If it’s not working right it’s probably defective people. Return it. I have found it for as little as $18 online buy a few of them one is bound to be a keeper.

I have had issues with every model I have tried one works the next one doesn’t it’s the nature of the beast at least for now.

In reply to Craig from Australia, I got mine from a shopfront just near the city in Melbourne for 30 bucks. They gave me a free coil too, when I went back in (I thought it was broken & forgot I had spare coils).

Just bought one of these puppies to replace my Kanger ProTank II. This thing packs a wallop, and it fits in an evening bag, unlike the huge long batteries that the ProTank required. It took zero time to start vaping, as my unit came fully charged.

I switched from the protank II to the aerotank and then to the aio.I’m very glad I did.22 bucks for the aio when I had spend probably a couple hundred replacing batteries and throwing away coils and the kangertech always leaking a full tank of fluid all over and not vaping and just spitting at me. Good choice!

Just bought this on Monday, it’s now Wednesday. I was told to kill the battery before I charge it for the first time. I just killed the battery after almost two days of heavy vaping. I’m very happy with the size, shape and durability of this device. The adjustable air-flow is convenient. I love the LED light selection. The device is simple to use, clean and fill. VERY happy with this purchase!

Bought this in Vegas 2 1/2 weeks ago. Coming from a different pen model refillable and also a model with ability to adjust the watt/volt. I had been using the others for awhile, found this in Vegas, apparently overpaid on the first one that did not work. Store replaced right away and i have been smoke free since. this device is great for beginners and or novice’s. Those who build their own or almost do may not like this but i think its a gem. Being a short guy, it fits my pockets much better than the big box mods that dont make it look like i’m happy to see you. Love it! NO MORE TOBACCO

Never tried a vapor cigarette before, but wanted to quit smoking. This device is compact enough to fit in every pocket or purse. Glad I made this purchase, it has helped with the motion of smoking a real cigarette. Three days now of no cigarettes.

I bought mine 2 weeks ago and love it,and have not touched a cigarette since. The only thing that I am not sure about is if the battery is replaceable or if you have to buy another one when the battery no longer holds a charge..

Todd.
Unfortunately no, with this model you won’t be able to change the battery as it’s an integrated battery. The only ones you can do that with are the bigger Box Mods that have a separate, normally 18650, battery. But for 20odd $s, £s, €s it’s not that dreadful. And, by that time, there’ll probably be something newer and better on the market anyway.

I’d give the ego AIO 5 stars if the ring didn’t get so darn hot. This is a great little all-in-one with a Cubis tank built in. Now that Joyetech has nixed the .5 ohm coil that did little more than spit and gurgle (replacing them with the .6 OHm that comes with these) the cubis system makes this thing a better mod than the eGO one, etc. I have a LOT of mods, but for convenience and the size, you simply can’t beat these things, you really can’t.

I just bought one myself. And after having the heat issue I found you have to prime the coil before you install it. Just tip coil itself upside down. Then look at cotton in the little holes fill the coil with juice until the cotton changes color and soaked. Then you should be good to go.

Just ordered one and found this review very helpfull. Gave up smokes on 1st Jan after 38 yrs of pack and half a day and couldnt do it without a vape. Have a large box mod and a couple of ijust2s but want something easier to carry and this looks like it. Will let you all know how it goes. Thanx

I wanted to stop cigarettes my buddy told me to go down to Vape KC. So I did, I told them I wanted to stay under $60 so they sold me one of these and some juice “fubar”…. I must say I’m on day 3 of vaping and have not even wanted to smoke a cigarette. This thing is freaking awesome, wish I would have bought one years ago. Paid $48 for it and juice. Very Very happy with it, it was fully charged right out of the box and day 3 I’m just now charging it.

I have had my AIO for 2 weeks. I am on my front porch vapping and it just stopped working, so im thinking its dead right? Well I go inside to charge it and it flashes at me, not red to indicate that it is charging, but white and it won’t charge now. It flashes white 3 times slow and then 5 times fast and it still won’t come on. Can someone help me with this problem?

The good news is that the AIO is not broken, the bad news is that there is a problem with the coil head. Either the coil is slanted and causing a short circuit, or it’s not screwed to the bottom of the tank firmly enough, and the device is reading a very low resistance. Check if the coil head make proper contact with the bottom the tank and if that doesn’t work, change the coil head. That should fix it.

Thanks, great advice! I just replaced the coil and it’s working again. phew…

I had just put a new .5 coil in and it wasn’t working. I thought the battery was fried. I was getting frustrated after burning up five .6 ohm coils in five days! I thought it was toast and it’s only two weeks old.

I’m going back to the .5ohms and see if I can get those to last longer than the .6, although I like the .6 flow a better.

It’s a convenient, easy to fill and good flavor/vape producer.

I would buy another one, and recommend to others.

Would love to hear from people about how long they have had theirs and what the life expectancy is.

@ Lori. It’s charged when the (red) charging light goes out. This is the perfect device for people switching to Vape from analogue ciggies. I’d committed to giving up my habit of 50 years -like I have every year for the last 20- and my son bought me an AIO last week. within 2 days was down to half my usual usage and now, -7 days later-, haven’t needed a ciggy for 2 days, it’s a miracle. Great taste, adequate cloud, everything I needed, except the tobacco. 10 out of 10.

I love this little thing!!!! Smoker for years and years, decided I’d switch this year to vapes….I did start out with a Kangertech EVOD which I will keep as backup, but find the draw on this one SO much better. Also love the fact that I can vape while its charging if need be…could not do that with the EVOD, which is why they give you two. I need a good vapor hit to mimic a cigarette to make me happy, which the EVOD did not always do…..this one is amazing. And yes, i love the lights lol. Love the looks, the function, the ease in filling….if I have any issues, I’ll come back and post but so far five stars. Yes, its noisy but that does not bother me.

brilliant little device, been using a kangertech mini which leaked when in pocket as well as been a bit bulky, but this is nice and discreet and powerful.Refilling is a breeze. Just charged after 2 days heavy vaping, passthrough charging is a bonus paid £25 and more than happy

After dropping my first one and cracking the glass tank, I bought a little black ring gasket from the local Home Depot that fits perfectly around my Joyetech AIO–if it drops, the ring protects the glass from breaking. I don’t remember the size–just take it with you and try them on until you find one that fits.

I have had mine for a few months now and I love it. wish they had a coil with higher wattage but its a nice backup device and the flavor is awesome. having said that, I bought my dad one about 5 days ago and while refilling it, it tipped over on the counter AND THE GLASS BROKE! Didnt take much for it to break. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY MAKE REPLACEMENT PARTS ANYWHERE FOR THIS??? I have seached a little bit online but nothing yet. I ANYONE know where I could get one or a way I could fix it PLEASE let me know. I mean just got it 5 days ago…

Love it, except that I’ve been using it for about half a day, pretty heavy, and the coil is already giving me that metallic, dry hit, used up taste. What gives? Really hoping it’s just a bad coil, because otherwise this will pretty much ruin Joy tech for me forever (I’ve had some issues with some other products of theirs). Any thoughts?

I figured it out. I think I had the coil head screwed in too tight, or off center. Either way, problem solved. I love this little device. Coming from high wattage subohm, heavy, and bulky boxes I love the size, light weight, and portability of this. Gives a good hit, too. Battery lasts much longer than I thought, too.

Could someone tell me if I can use a Cubis 1.5 Ohm coil with the Aio? Just bought 2 of them, I love this device. The only negative thing for me is the liquid consumption, 10 puff and it’s empty. I’m curious if a higher coil head would make a difference.

I LOOOOVE THIS DEVICE.
I had the same problem with the burning for a couple of days even tho I primed the coils…I’m assuming some of the coils were just bad in the pack that came with the tank… OR the juice I had was just going bad… My boyfriend hit it and said it just tasted like the propylene glycol… Not sure tho, only been vaping for a month.. But I stopped smoking the first day!!!
I would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone looking for their first device, or second after using a starter pen…
I prefer this over my boyfriends big box thing lol
The hit is great… It does get hot sometimes…but cools down quickly… I’ve only had it about a week or two… So I’ll update if anything changes!!!

I have one of these and this thing doesn’t produce much vapor smoke at all because i drag slower. you really have to hit on this thing hard and quick to produce some kind of vapor smoke. i don’t plan on buying another one. I’ll stick with my little avail/tsunami ecig as this produces much more smoke and more satisfying.

That’s the joy of so many options. 🙂 That said, if you or someone you know is not aware of new FDA regulations that dropped recently and will ban 99% of vapor products in 2 years time (with businesses exiting the market much sooner than that) please go to CASAA.org and sign up.

Love my AIO been vaping on it for a few days now,how long do the 0.6 coils last that came with the device? After cleaning out for a new juice flavor took a look at the coil as best as I could see and it’s a little dark,how often should I replace the coils? Everyone says something diff TIA

When you don’t like how it tastes anymore or it doesn’t produce enough vapor like it used to. Each to their own. But you’ll know when it’s time ’cause you’ll be missing how it used to taste/vape before. That said, I get about 2 weeks and I’m a heavy vapor using max VG which is harder on coils than 50/50VG/PG

Hey are you moving the dot at a 90 degree angle to the other?
When I first got mine I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t changing when I turned it…then I read that it has to be at a 90 degree… It works for me now!!

LOVE IT!! But have a question. Been 2 weeks cig free after 20+ years. My first real e-cig. After 2-3 days it gives the short circuit flashes after filling. Have been able to unscrew/screw and get it working, but have had to replace the coils like every third day or so. Is that normal? Am I wasting coils? can I clean them or something?

Rufus, are you making sure you are priming it well? Even with heavy vaping I don’t think you should be going thru coils that fast. I burned both of mine out right off the bat because it needs to be primed well first. For anyone that is concerned about a draw that is too tight, I just got .5 coils to try on it, and the draw is much, much lighter. I’ll let you know if there are any issues using this coil but so far so good

@ Rufus et al on ditching used coils. Don’t ditch once-used coils. Coils can be cleaned and re-used by soaking in coke or vinegar for 24 hours, then rinsed thoroughly with water, then dried naturally in the sun for a day (on say your windowsill, on a tissue.) Save up used atomisers till you have a batch. Only works once or twice though then the gunk is caked on solid, so throw.

You might like their rebuildable head, the Cubius/AIO RBA. To see a tutorial on how to rebuild check out DJ Lab Vapes on youtube.. I don’t build anymore (too busy) but he makes it look so easy I just might try it again. Plus he figured out a way to improve upon the build style.

Thanks for the advice about cleaning coils. I really like a lot of things about this device, but after having it for a few months the coils are lasting 2-3days tops. Great everything for the first 2 days, but I can’t afford to replace coils that often. I’ll try cleaning, but unfortunately that is only going to prolong the time before I have to buy a different vape system. Would give it 4+ stars if I didn’t have the coil problem.

I give 5 stars but is anyone else flying through coils? I find coils last max 2 or 3 days. I dont know much about these but I do love this just hate the chronic coil changing. I have bought 5 refills and they bust down on me. Any hints or ideas from anyone?

hi I’ve been using the ice menthol vamps liquid which has done me great for over 3 weeks.last night I ran out so swapped to a grim reaper fizzy cola bottle liquid and that’s burnt my coil right out . went down to the shop to be told that certain liquids and flavours can be too harsh for the coils. they put me a new one on and by the tile I got home I had burnt another one out.now I’ve swapped to a different liquid and hoping this one will last until my original liquid is delivered as I’m not happy that I’ve just wasted 2 coils

’ve not had that problem with 3 coils…6ohm and .5ohm. My guess is your e-liquid is the problem. It pays to buy quality. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Try DB E-liquids online. Maybe Mount Baker Vapor but I haven’t tested the latter.

I guess i am lucky, ive had mine for almost a month and have yet to change the coil. I refill the tank every two or three days, and charge it about the same.
I love this thing. Bought it at encouragement of smoke shop employee. My goal is to completely quit smoking cigarettes and have cut in half as i get more used to the eGo.
I have ordered the juice that promises to taste most like my brand of cigs, then quit entirely.

Love it best one I have had so far as long as you have the right atamizor head I just bought a pack of five of the ss316 0.6ohm today primed one up lasted about half a day I had ones were it was full open I believe it was a 0.5 ohm that lasted me two weeks

Love this device, really compact and handy to carry around. Has helped immensely with giving up the fags fair play. Easy to add the fluid and change coils etc… Only gripe for me is I find trouble charging it. I didn’t have a plug with it and I don’t have many devices in the house to give it the low volt charge from just the USB cable. Tried the sky box and it didn’t work, need a plug, any advice please?

I just got my eGo AIO today and it gets so hot after 2 or 3 draws I have to turn it off. It takes about 15-20 seconds to cool down! Really hot! It also crackles and pops which is unnerving. Should I return it?

have the same thing happen to mine glass cracked and it still works great but where glass broke on one side leaks all out before i can smoke it!! have you had any luck with fixing it? Ive thought about tape, glue, lol but don’t want to vape them and probably wouldn’t work anyway..ashame, and company wont replace for this…broke too easy

Love this little thing! My husband quit smoking over a year ago and has been trying to get me to switch too. I tried the standard pens but they never really satiated my need for a cigarette so I just said piss on it. Well, long story short it was time for a change so I told my husband, I only have 4 cigarettes left, I’m not buying another pack, I need a vape. He called down to our local vape shop and told his friend I would be in shortly and that I needed something that was a step up from the regular pens but not like his (he has some big ol’ box thing lol, I’m knew to this so don’t judge my lack of knowledge lol) because every time I have tried to rip off of his I about choke to death. I get down there and she has this handy little devil all set up and ready to go I just have to pick my flavor. This was Monday the 6th of June, it is now the 12th and I have been smoke free since the 8th! This thing is, quite literally, a life saver!!! The only thing I would say negative towards this is the heat that comes from the top. But for all I know this could be normal.

It’s better than the cheaper versions… The first inhale is ok, but the second inhale I have a nasty taste in my mouth and on my lips, it’s not nice. I just want smoke in my mouth and longs… Not some sticky dirty taste… Am I doing something wrong?

I just bought this on Monday June 13 and loved the hit but my problem is I can only hit it like 2 times and then I get a burnt taste..so I changed the coil and got the same thing so naturally i’m hating it now…am I doing something wrong or are my coils defected?? Very Disappointing to me

Hey, this was a great review! I couldn’t find the voltage and wattage details anywhere, so yay!!!
Also it does have an ohm reader, well tester. While it’s on, you press the button once and it’ll either light up and fade slowly meaning it’s a compatible ciol that’s <5 ohm or it will blink quickly and turn off meaning it's too low of a resistance (<0.3 ohm)
This is all found in the manual on the joyetech website.

Love my AIO…however it does get very hot. It has sputtered and spewed actually burning my lip a few times. What am I doing wrong…or is it faulty? I do like this vape though 4 weeks!!! I’d give it a full 5 star if the sputtering and spewing would stop…like I actually get the juice on my tongue

Hi, thank you for you review, and I finally decided to get one. But I found the price on this site is much more cheaper than your link when I got an account on it, and they are from China, are they original?

Yes, Chinese shops will always have stuff cheaper than US or European stores, due to the different taxing system. I cannot tell you if it’s original or not, it looks good in the photos, but I don’t know what you’ll be getting. There are a number of well known legit Chinese vaping stores, but I don’t know anything about the one you linked to. Make sure to check the shipping time, the package could take a while to reach you.

Hey bro, I just bought one as well. Huge level up from vuse, blu, and those other pieces of crap.
Mine gets pretty hot and pops a little too. In the directions, it says to drop a little liquid into the coil before screwing it on… But the dudes at the shop told me to just add 3-4ths, or 2-3rds to the fill line, so it’s on the line or below when fully assembled. Then without turning it on, take some long puffs to draw the fluid into the coil. Do that a few times, then power up. It’ll still get warm and pop… But, not nearly as dramatic. For the couple of hours I’ve had her, price and performance are awesome.

I’m a happy vaper! Went to the vape shop today looking for a new kit because the pen set I had stopped charging for whatever reason. I’ve decided that this is it. I’m giving up the analogs for good. Naturally I’ve had a couple, but already I can see myself moving beyond them. Since I was an ultra-light brand smoker, I’m at 6mg nicotine. I love my eGo AIO! The brick and mortar store charged me $30 with a free small juice bottle. After watching some youtube reviews, I decided to purchase another for flavor changes. I found a place online that’s selling them at $16.99. Even with s&h it was $10 less than the brick and mortar store! Looking forward to a finally smoke free life after 35 years of tobacco.

Got this a few days ago, was travelling and left behind carts for my Vaporfi express cigalike. The AIO was suggested by a local shop. Agree with most of the comments here but my main complaint is the lack of taste from my expensine vape juice. The vapor gets so warm it seems to kill the flavor, adjusting the airflow doesnt help either. This may be an AIO device but it doesnt seem ideal for every vapor, maybe just those wanting a sub ohm device.

I really love this device, the styling, the satisfaction, and the quality. I decided on the spur of the moment to buy an ecig after seeing a friend with one and trying a few puffs. I bought it the next day, finished the last three normal cigs I had in my pack and seamlessly transitioned to this. I can’t get over the fact I’ve had absolutely zero desire to go back to regular smokes, this is so satisfying. I used to hate how my hair and skin smelled before and the best part of this is losing that smell. I love the eGo AIO and wish I’d bought it sooner.

This is a great device! I did a lot of research on Vaping before I started. I am still a NOOB, but an informed one. I purchased several different starter kits, Kanger, Ego Styles, etc…. They were Ok. Some leaked some did not and some were just a pain in the @__. I am coming from a pipe smoking background. So I am a bit used to fiddling around with with my stuff. However, this thing is awesome, I love the smooth easy draw. Not like the pen styles I am used to. More like my good ol’ pipes. Moreover, the flavor and nice thick vapor that this produces is fantastic. And BONUS, it is simple and easy. Yeah, flavor change is what it is but, a damp paper towel and finishing up a filled bowl is not a big deal. Honestly, I did not come across this unit online, I was vaping at my lodge and one of my friends noticed that I had switched and let me try it. I was hooked. I got mine online $17.00 bucks and free shipping. I am going to get a few more…. and use the LED colors to denote the flavors. ( I have 20 tobacco pipes on the shelf, just for show now). I do not think I will need to find another style unit. So, now I have a bunch of Evod/Ego/Kanger pen styles that are going on the shelf with the pipes!

My friend and I have both been vaping for three years. We each recently purchased the Ego AIO and love it. So I bought my daughter one. We are all having a problem with the coils not lasting even 24 hours. Gets a very nasty taste and unless I missed some comments I don’t see where anyone else is having this issue. What are we doing wrong. We all use the brand Pin Up Vapor, Betty. The retailer we purchased our Egos from is telling us that Betty is damaging our coils. It’s a sweet, fruity flavor. Can anyone help shed some light on our problem? Thanks in advance

It worked perfect after I figured out how to use it. The coil can’t be screwed in too tight because it needs to make contact with the bottom of the tank… It’s a good value. I dropped mine from a second floor deck and it landed on cement. It still works, but the glass is broken now. So I guess it’s useless because the liquid just leaks out. I will either try to fix it or just go buy a new one. Bottom line….it’s a great little device that’s not perfect but not expensive either.

Had this for a week and I just cant get this thing to charge as all it does is blinks three times, the light does not turn red at all and I have tried a different charger even. I think this was of waste of money as it seems others have the same problem. Guess I should have read reviews before purchasing.

A bit disappointed with the eGo AIO which I bought a couple weeks ago. The mouthpiece is now loose. Obviously something is missing as the mouthpiece doesn’t screw. I can’t even don’t know where to fix it or get the missing part (?) as I moved back to Bangkok where e-cig are illegal, hence no e-cig shops.
Any help/advice would be appreciated…

Do not purchase any vapes from this company. Mine leaked right from the first use from the battery, power button and the charging port. They put you through hell a back and forth and flat out tell you they will not honor their warranty which is to fix or replace the bad unit for free.

When I hit thr fire button, it makes a loud popping noise, almost like a hot spark like pop, I’ve seen no spark but it can scare ya, then I’ve noticed it gets very very HOT Any one else experience this

Instantly gave up tobacco after 50 years one month ago. Didn’t know anything about vaping but had tried one of those ciggie look-alike things a year ago which just made me cough. If like me, you know nothing about the subject, get the guy in the store to prep it for you. With frequent use I’m on my 2nd coil in the 4th week and although it gets warm, it is not excessively hot. Set-up seems important from the start. Try this unit, it may save your life if you smoke ciggies.

Like Sherri, I had exactly the same. It fizzes & crackles & pops really loudly, and if I were to take 3 or puffs in a row, the mouthpiece is too hot for me to touch. Is this just a faulty one? I would also say that I can feel liquid on my tongue, not just vape – in fact the tip of my tongue is a bit sore now – surely that’s not good? I guess I should take it back to the shop and ask. They also sold this to me when I specifically said several time that I DIDN’T want straight to lung, but it turns out that’s what it is? Still smoking the fags (which I don’t do straight to lung.. do you?). On the plus side, it did give very good vape and good flavour with a nice juice.

Great starter device. only problems i see from bad reviews tend to be user error. too hot probably caused from chain vaping. lips should be right over (thats right over not on the tip of lips) mouthpeice before you fire it and don’t use every few seconds like a cig. leave it atleast until the light goes out or longer. it will crackle a bit if airflow is fully open but it isn’t a high end device anyway so thats normal. normally for a smoker trying vaping the airflow should be pretty much closed to give a tighter draw like smoking. this will give a better throat hit and likely flavour too. it is a mtl device really but possible of sub ohm with the .6 coil but not much point of straight lung due to not enough airflow. the only reason it gets a 4 star is because of this but really a starter isn’t going to want to block out the sun with a vape cloud are they? coil problems keep getting mentioned. maybe poor liquid or vg too high. for a newly converted smoker i preferred a 1.0+ coil and tight draw, maybe they might last longer. hope some of this helps and gives you the confidence to give it another go because the joyetech aio is a great little device and really there is not anything better out there if you are just starting off. 5 star for me personally but stl hitters won’t be satisfied i doubt so the only reason for a dropped star.

Love this device. Can’t smoke at work and got busted twice for sneaking in a smoke while hiding in the parking garage. I heard about vaping but had never tried it. Got this device 4 weeks ago. Started with just a plain juice. Really liked it. No longer need to go out to sneak a smoke. Tried cinnamon roll juice. Really, really like it. Down to 1 pack a day from a 2 pack a day habit. Any suggestions for other “spiced ” flavors?

Got one for my mother. I’m a dripper myself, and was going to get a tank for a spare box I had, but I tried this little guy out. I found it to be great. Not my sort of device, but for higher PG liquids, and a cigarette-like draw, it is a great device.

This device is great! I quit smoking after 10 years. It is easy to use and very enjoyable.

I need help, though. After two months of use (not excessive vaping), the battery power either did not last a long time or something just got weaker about it. Perhaps I’ve been doing something wrong with maintenance. So I got a new one, perhaps prematurely. My question is: should I charge the vape each time when it is dead or half full? And if the latter, should I have it charge for 3 hours or until the red light goes out? Thank you, any help would be great!

Ya my girlfreind just bought one of these badboys and ya its like a torch gets very hot i have a eleaf nautilus had it for a year and it gets warm after using it for quite a while but this gets very.hot after.a couple puffs shouldnt be doing that and ya its very loud its not.queit and discreet like other vapoursy natilus i can haul back on that thing and doesnt make any noise at all

Last night !! my mod met with an accident and glass lid got breaked and wherever all other things are working normal ,its getting charged,coil is getting heated,change in colour. Is there are any possibilities to change the outer surface instead of buying a new one.

Noisy thing that worked fine for the first couple of days, then started playing up.
Three puffs and then wait five mins.
Then the tank came of in my pocket and soaked my phone and wallet.
It may be child proof but this was done just by sitting down on a train seat.

I have been using mine for about 2 months. It is nice to have a small, light unit that will fit in my pocket. My only real complaint is the coils. You need to be sure not to screw the top all the way down or you will burn up a coil. Now, my coils last over a week, but with the price I will live with it.

I won’t even give this thing stars. If I could give it negative stars, I would.

I have been through three of these. In less than a year. The first one the tank cracked after a drop, so that was my fault.

The second two are on the company. I used these for around two months each and both of them just quit charging for no reason. There is something wrong with the charging port. There is absolutely no reason something should just quit working, and the last two were never dropped, were kept clean, and used appropriately, with the right coils. With having read how hard Joytech is to deal with, I likely won’t even bother contacting the company, although I do plan on making a complaint on their facebook page so its public. They need to address the issue of the problems with charging as clearly I am not the only one this has happened to. I will not purchase another Joytech product. I have gone and bought an Aspire setup, which I am very happy with, and its the same basic idea as the AIO, minus the lights, which are nothing more than a cute party trick. Maybe they can ditch the lightshow in favor of developing a unit that has a decent charging port. Very disappointed at the build quality.

I have been using the Your ACH ego AIO for a few days now. this was my first venture away from cigalikes. omg am I glad I tried this!!! this is a terrific entry level device. the initial charge out of the box lasted through 2 tank fills. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to try vaping. this price point is great for what you get. the vape output is pleasing. I inhale twice for one draw. you will not get plumes of vapor, but I think this was meant to be discrete. I can cover the whole device with one normal sized hand. I am super pleased with my purchase and I think any newbie would be, too!

I am facing the same issue. The vape is shooting the e-liq and its hurting the throat!! Not sure how to fix this, as everytime I use the new coil it will work fine for 2-3 hours and all of a sudden it will start shooting and cracking noise comes that again hurts my throat. There is no voltage control as well..can anyone help me out that how can I fix it?

Great review.
I just recieved the ego d16 today, and it’s awesome. Screw on the atomizer, fill the tank and you’re good to go.
Got mine with millers juice “cherry me up”. It’s the only juice i have so i got to try some other flavours and brands.
I recommend this.

Bought the AIO and AIO Pro. Both suck! They both spit quite badly so I started using the spiral tips, which helped a bit. Thing is, after about 5 puffs, the device bubbles and gurgles, even with relatively new coils. I wish I hadn’t bought these devices. Rather look at something else for a beginner.

I have vamped for more than 3 years now and started with an ego one and now have numerous box mods including a cuboid mini but about a month ago decided I wanted something to fit in my top pocket and decided on the AIO as it has the same head as the cuboid. I was stunned with the performance of this ridiculously inexpensive e-cig. I changed from the 0.6 atomisers that are supplied as I found that they ran a bit hot and spat back occassionally and now am using the Clapton 1.5’s in both the AIO and the cuboid and, for me they vape perfectly in both. I would highly recommend the AIO to any newbie or experienced vaper.

The AIO is hands down one of the best all in one vapes you can buy. It is on par with my Aspire CF SUB with a Cubis tank, hits are almost identical. Battery life seems great i’m ale to vape 2 full tanks on a single battery life. The 2ml liquid capacity will suit most heavy users for at least 24hrs. If your looking for a cost efficient,safe,reliable e cig this is the one.

Great vape, nice big full flavored hits. Very easy to understand and get setup, I’ve been using it heavy everyday for weeks, only burnt one coil out and just loving the hits this vape provides. Great for those quitting smoking or looking for a good,leak free SUB OHM vape. It really does blow clouds if you want it to!

I loved it in the beginning, but no matter what I do the glass keeps on breaking!! I bought case’s for it and also covers (waste of money) I just broke my forth one in 5 months …. Looking for something else now.. Disappointed!!

Two hours sold and wont stop spitting hot oil at me. anyone have any idea why this is happening? I went back to the shop I bought it from and the woman said its supposed to do that. I laughed and told her she was an idiot and walked out. Granted I’m trying not to smoke so I’m a bit irritable. But I do know hot burning liquid is not supposed to pop out and burn me lol

I’ve had several of these, they are great when you get a unit that doesn’t spit or pull juice into your mouth. The problem is that some do and there’s no way to address the issue. Because of that, I’m done with them.

IF you’re partial to HOT OIL burning the inside of your mouth, then the joyetech eGo AaIO Is the vaporizer for you!
Initially I liked everything about this vaporizer ( I have had 3 … in different sizes), inside of 3weeks they both ended up being too dangerous to use.
My first one actually burnt the inside if my mouth.
I wanted to believe it was defective or it was the model (size/length difference). Unfortunately my third attempt and same thing; eventually starts overheating and no longer useable. I’m at s loss as to how Joyetech can keep selling these from a legal start point.

We decided to vape to cut back on our cigarette smoking. Anywho, so we got 2 of these pens one for my husband one for me…… within FOUR DAYS!!!!! had to replace 2 coils & eventually the pen itself……(in four days) i dont excessively vape, nothing like that. For some reason the first one i purchased was great for that first four days then all of a sudden it was sizzling putting off a burnt metal smell and tasted like burnt metal (replaced the coil TWICE) still burnt smell……..so vape shop i went to replaced it for free…..yeah well needless to say the replacement one NEW IN THE BOX does not work point blank period……..will not push out any vape AT ALL……..what we thought was great ended up being a total and complete flop, waste of time, waste of money and unneccessary stress…….. I wont purchase another nor will i ever recommend another……If you chose to purchase one of these. just be cautious…..and do not buy one unless y ou can catch it on a really good price like under $20…….honestly they are worth no more than $10.

Well I purchased one of these and it lasted three day before a drop off the table rendered it unable to charge. The tech support’s first reply was sorry tough luck we don’t cover “human error” . A chat on social media got a slightly better response from them. however i have now been told that there is no “exclusive” re-seller in the country I bought it in so they cannot replace it. They did tell me to wait (no idea how long, or what for even after repeated questions) for them to “prepare a package”. This is not the first vape pen I own, and the one i have has survived multiple falls without any issue. I seriously doubt the quality of this pen and the customer service attitude of the company as a whole. Let’s see how long it take before i get my replacement.

These are just ok. I have been through 4 since June of 2017. One had blew up in my purse. Luckily just the top blew off and no fire. The others I have bought really don’t stay charged that long. I have one that I can only vape if it’s charging. I have ordered different kind a CuBox AIO. Hopefully this one works better.

I love the convenience……but damn, I’m replacing the coil every two to four days. My Kanger coils used to last a couple weeks at a time. Using the .5 ohm…..may try the .6 or the Clapton to get longer life.

Ive had my aio for a couple of years and hardly have used it until I started back to quiting cigarettes. Ive notice when I do vape continuously the tank and top gets really warm and I’m wondering if I should be concerned?
